one thing i've always really loved abt utena's aesthetic (and this is especially true about the movie) is classic shoujo being broken up by the mechanical and industrial and mundane... the way the sparkles and flowers and swords are juxtaposed with road signs and elevators and telephones.... gothic architecture and therapist waiting rooms. a locket with a picture of your unrequited love has the same emotional weight as a kitschy coffee mug

The problem with having OCs is that sometimes you wanna read about your little guy being in situations but unfortunately he is YOUR little guy and no one is gonna put him in that situation but you. Tragic.

Little rant (TW for mentions of rape)

I freaking hate the zombies community that I have specifically observed on YouTube (and kinda on TikTok too, but I’m like 50/50 with that so), I guess specifically (what I’m going to guess) are like the cishet men of the fandom (also the literal target demographic for cod to begin with but whatever 🥹). Like, I see people talking about Richtofen’s sexuality, for example, and I see them play it off as a joke or just call him zesty, like no actually, with him having voicelines that suggest he’s HAD SEX WITH MEN THEN THAT MEANS HE IS QUEER!!!! OKAY, HE’S FUCKING QUEER, it’s not even just implication anymore because he himself states it! Or, the fact that Ult Takeo was implied to of been raped by the spider on Zetsu (if I’m correct) and I see the comments joke about it in ways which I do not remember, but it screams something along the lines of playing into rape culture and not believing men can be victims, and it just makes me fume. But yeah I just hate it. Also, I’m sick of seeing bo2 hate on TikTok all the the, maybe I’m just blinded by nostalgia or whatever they say, but some bo2 maps are peak :( at least in my opinion I guess

I hope it's okay that I add: another example of the prevalent rape culture is with Sam. At fault of Treyarch and the community. For those unaware, in the dark Aether storyline, director Richtofen committed medical rape. While Sam was imprisoned, he harvested her eggs. When the characters learn, the only one that freaked out in disgust and rage and VIOLENCE was Grey. The other members of requiem, who supposedly cared about her, didn't react. It appeared as an edgy action-movie-type way Treyarch wanted to paint director Richtofen as Extra Evil. (Which, by itself, is alreadly insensitive.)

But it got worse. Now Treyarch is WRITING THAT THE RAPE WAS A GOOD THING. The current story is constantly reiterating "thank god we have her eggs! Thank goodness! The entirety of creation would have collapsed without that rape! Her rape-baby will save us!" I'm not exaggerating either. The fabric of reality will come undone if Grey doesn't give birth to Sam's daughter. Critism of this narrative does not exist. When it does, it's more about director Richtofen turbo-sucking (which he does), rather than questioning why Treyarch wants to write something good coming out of rape. It's even having real-life reprocussions as I watch people argue medical rape is not real rape.

Oh, and adding to your observation that male rape doesn't matter in codz- director Ed raped All of requiem. The other's didn't react to having their reproductive organs harvested either. While Sam's dna was saved- because Grey (having loved Sam and mourning her death) didn't have the strength to destroy it- everyone else's was destroyed. So, it doesn't matter they were raped because no harm no foul if the evidence is gone apparently. A very Epstien mindset from the writers.

TO CIRCLE BACK, AND WHY I WANTED TO ADD TO YOUR POST: I've seen the defense of "it was a different time" for the call of the dead (2011) and zetsubou (2016) thing. Maybe. The internet was different back then. The only way to seriously discuss those topics were if you looked for them, and the spaces created were limited (by everything from censorship to word count). An open discussion of sexual assault only saw it's modern boon with the 2017 #metoo movement. STILL, I can't accept "it was a different time" as a defense. The community still leans on those instances for "funny moments", and Treyarch still uses rape as a card in their storyline playbook. Rape culture was always here, and continues to be. The only difference is that rape has gone from a device of comedy, to one of noble sacrifice.

The thought of Takeo only having his dead brothers cursed Katana to remember him tickles my brain. He loves the Katana dearly. He constantly cleans it and sharpens it, making sure the wrap isn't fraying. He'll talk to it in secret, when no one is around to hear him. Takeo loves the katana deeply and would never let it chip or snap. It's almost pathetic how well he treats it.
